It honestly doesn't matter, as long as the recording signal *never* clips. It clips, turn down the gain a bit, and rerecord.
If you're just tracking, you don't even need to mess with the faders in Reaper (or listen to it even), just make sure the little red box in the channel meter never lights up.
Technically, some AD Converters work "better" in certain ranges of operation, but these are typically cheap ADCs and probably not found in your equipment.
